It should be impossible to disable chat.

It is very boring when you say hello, or when you try to say hello, and the opponent disables chat. It doesn't cost much to be polite. I don't ask more than a single word. Even before or after the game when you play a bullett game, no problem. When I explain I don't rematch against impolite players, I often am insulted... Wow.

You believe it is insulting to refuse to chat. In bullet.

I understand and sympathize with your desire for a simple hello. I also understand that there is little time to waste in a bullet game and that people who can manage a running commentary while playing (like Daniel Rentsch) are quite rare.

Perhaps you are one of them. How fortunate for you.

Alas, many are not so swift of mind and get flustered when someone wants to say hello. They don't know if you just want to say hello or if you are opening a distraction gambit.

Facing an unusual distraction, turning off chat is mainly practical. It is probably not meant to be rude.

Evidently, you take it that way. According to many of the notes left on your page, you go far beyond politely explaining your decision to excuse yourself from rematches when people have disabled chat and use extremely insulting terms yourself when you leave notes on their pages.

I think you should remain polite.

Looks a bit like an obsession, indeed.

Well this is the online world, people are not polite. I don't play with people that disable chat either, since I like to talk during games.

Thanks for replying, I honestly think it is wrong to insult others. Even if they do something wrong.

Yes

 I agree 100%!!!  if you want to play a quite online game then play the computer on chess.com.  If you want to enjoy the game, then chat.

Well technically members should be allowed to disable chat. Like I get you all might be offended by it, but people have their reasons. Sometimes it might be that the member is a kid so they don't want to talk. If they disable their chat and you think it's impolite, don't bother saying gg or something.

Disabling takes away peoples ability to complain, trash talk, insult and scream about cheating when you crush their sorry hides. Its to counter the impolite people

Screw that.

I am not sure if you noticed, but there are some TROLLS on the internet. And Chess,ciom is no exception.

Any site wants my business, needs to give me the power to disable chat, so I can neutralize these idiots.

Yes I agree

But finding good friends is not easy.

Chat in daily games is fine.  I always greet my opponent at the start.  If the don't want to respond, that's fine.

Really? I find it hard to be humble when you are perfect in every way.

i HATE people who disable chat

Perhaps they were subjected to abuse in the past and would rather not experience it again. I only chat on daily for this reason.

If you were a polite person, you'd respect your opponent's wish not to be bothered by the chat.
